Child Pugh score is used to assess prognosis/mortality in absence of liver transplantation in a cirrhotic patient and hence plan the timing for liver transplantation.

Dr C.G. Child and Dr J.G. Turcotte of the University of Michigan first proposed the scoring system in 1964. It was modified by Pugh et al in 1972 when Child's criterion of nutritional status was replaced with the prothrombin time or INR, and thus eliminated the most subjective part of the score.
